I knew there were more of us!
a parts list and links would be great
Just a heads up. A journal bearing turbo will have shaft play till the oil is pressurized by the oil pump causing a film of oil that the shaft rides on which is how they can spin over 30,000 rpms
last month I was trying to find more videos on this topic and I couldn't find a lot of info. Came back to try and again and this video has been uploaded and I'm so happy. This was a super informative thank you. Hopefully, someday my jeep can make magic whistle noises too.
I have a xj I'm putting tubo on I have a ton or parts in this thing I'm almost ready for my ecu I'm really interested on your take on the ms3x I will be following you guys closely and possibly be doing the same exact same thing
Good info! I was curious about which turbo to get. Didn’t want to get one to small. So thank you for the info on that!

My xj is running 17psi all stock except for injectors,been like this for over 4 years
I just got a free turbo off a Honda and I'm excited to turbo my 250k mile tj rubicon. I'm gonna make it as cheap as possible
Use marine grade injectors for the better duty cycle. Can be smaller for idle. Look it up. Old trick to be legal stock n yet get better fuel.
Keep it up guys! Love the turbo xj videos
It’s been 2 years or so since this video has the turbo held up reliably????
doing my homework on putting a turbo on my 98. only looking for 8-10psi max. you ran a stock cam before swapping to the voodoo without issue? going to be building the spare motor I have so the parts list you listed in this video was extremely helpful

It's not a voodoo cam actually, it's from lunati but when I called them, they said the voodoo wouldn't be good for a turbo application so they custom cut one for us that would be a lot better for a turbo, and yes we ran a stock cam with 0 issues

My bad misunderstood the cam part. But makes me more hopeful on the stock parts. It's the family beater so ebay parts are a plus and being able to bypass having to do a new computer setup is good to hear. And did your turbo come with an internal waste gate that you deleted to do an external?

When checking turbo shaft play. Having a little shaft play left and right is normal. It’s necessary for oil to get around the bearing. Shaft play in and out is the bad kind. Just want to educate the masses for a well misunderstood topic.

I'm also gonna guess it's 4 wires, one power one ground, one signal in from the MAP and one signal out to the stock ECU. I'm sure you got the +/- on the FCD wired right, otherwise all you can really do is reverse the signal wires. You might be putting map signal into the FCD where it's supposed to be coming out.
